>An immeasurable amount of time passes, marked only by the number of times you've fallen asleep
>Slowly, the pain fades
>You are visited only by the changeling you first saw
>At some point, you catch it staring at you
Yes?
>You break the silence
>It freezes a moment, staring at you with its almost hollow stare
>Something about that stare is familiar, but you can't quite place it
>After a moment of this back and forth stare, something happens
>The changeling erupts in green flame, making you twitch in surprise
>What now stood in front of you was the pony you had pushed into action back in the chaos of the hydra's attack
>A moment of understanding dawns
>This changeling is here for you because you saved it
>Green flames wash over him again, and he turns to leave
>The fact you have sort of met before...
>Makes you wonder...
How did I get here?
>He stops, giving you another vacant stare
>You can tell that he is having an internal struggle
>It hits you that you haven't heard him speak
If you don't wan-
>He holds a hole filled hoof in the air
You crashed here. As soon as you snapped me to my senses, I sped back here
>He pauses for a moment, picking up his memories of what happened
Some minute after I returned, you fell from the sky into the courtyard. I took responsibility, and was assigned to see your recovery
>Silence befalls the two of you again
>This guy had taken you in, made sure you were ok
>Looks like you've made a new friend
Name's Anon. What's yours?
>The changeling gives a look of surprise
I... We don't have names
>That.. that sounds kind of sad
None of you?
>...
None, save the queen
>You think for a moment
Can I call you Wesley?
>He pauses for a moment, giving it thought
As you wish
>He replies, and walks out the door
>The fact that you started laughing uncontrollably at his honest response may have played a part
>You didn't care though, because when drowsiness overtook you, you slept soundly
